What is the area of the triangle below (in square units)?
Remember, the formula for the area of a triangle is
where
represents the length of the base of the triangle and
represents its height.
A triangle with a base of 14 millimeters and a height of 2 millimeters.
The area of the triangle is given by the formula:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Substituting the given values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * 14 mm * 2 mm
Area = (1/2) * 28 mm²
Area = 14 mm²
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 14 square units.
